Great story from Flt International this week!
A US Air flt to Fort Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. The irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew screaming,
'US Air 2771, where are you going? I told you to turn right on the Charlie taxiway; you turned right on Delta! Stop right there! I know its difficult to tell the difference between C's and D's but get it right!'
The controller continued to tongue lash the crew and became semi-hysterical.
'You've screwed everything up - it'll take forever to sort this out. Stay right there and don't move until I tell you to. You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you. You got that US Air 2771?'
A terrible silence ensued for several seconds until an unknown pilot broke the silence and asked,
'Wasn't I married to you once?'
